Description
22.50 acres (9.11 hectares) of level and gently west sloping pasture land with stream frontage and three access points on the edge of Gillingham Town
Description - A productive block of pasture land which has been cut for silage and grazed by cattle and sheep. Shreen Water, a tributary of the River Stour, runs along the entire western boundary where the land adjoining is level free draining alluvium soil and it slopes gently up to Bowridge Hill where the soil becomes more loam and Kimmeridge clay. The soil should be high in organic matter having been grazed solely by sheep in recent years.
Situation - The land is located in a quiet yet strategic position on the northern outskirts of Gillingham, currently the fastest growing town in North Dorset. There are 2 access points off Bowridge Hill Lane into Lot A and 3 access points off Bay Road into Lot B.
The higher land enjoys far reaching westerly views over Gillingham town sweeping from Stourhead round to Bulbarrow Hill.
